How to Do Cable Reverse Woodchop

Form Cues

1. 1

   Set cable low, rotate through the torso pulling the cable diagonally up and across the body

2. 2

   Follow through with arms fully extended at the top

3. 3

   Pivot the back foot as you rotate to let the hips turn fully

4. 4

   Keep arms relatively straight, letting the torso rotation drive the cable

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Using arm strength instead of rotational power — the movement should originate from the hips and core rotating, not the shoulders pulling

• ●

  Keeping the feet planted flat without pivoting, limiting the hip rotation

• ●

  Rushing the movement with too much weight, sacrificing the smooth diagonal arc
